Chicago P.D. could see some familiar faces again. Showrunner Gwen Sigan has expressed interest in revisiting former characters as the Chicago drama continues its 14th season.
Speaking with Give Me My Remote, Sigan reflected on Jesse Lee Soffer and Tracy Spiridakos returning as Jay Halstead and Hailey Upton for last season’s One Chicago crossover.
“I think it would be wonderful to have somebody reappear again,” Sigan said.
The comments leave room for another reunion, although Sigan did not announce a returning actor, an episode or a specific storyline. Her remarks express an interest in bringing former colleagues back, with no firm plans disclosed.
There are several characters whose departures would allow another visit to the 21st District. Jon Seda‘s character Antonio Dawson left Intelligence and moved to Puerto Rico to be with family. An original member of the team, Antonio has longstanding connections to Voight and the unit.
Brian Geraghty’s Sean Roman survived a gunshot injury before moving to San Diego at the end of Season 3. He later returned for a February 2020 crossover involving Chicago Fire and Chicago P.D., establishing that his departure from Chicago did not close his story.
Lisseth Chavez’s Vanessa Rojas offers another possibility. The undercover officer joined Intelligence in Season 7, but her absence the following season was never explained on screen.
None of those three characters was killed off. Their stories leave room for a return, but Sigan has not identified Seda, Geraghty or Chavez as potential guest stars.
The series is also making room for new characters. In the same interview, Sigan said additional faces would enter the 21st District, introducing different dynamics for the established ensemble.
Those changes come following LaRoyce Hawkins’ departure as a series regular in the October 14 episode, “Don’t Blink.” Soffer returned behind the camera to direct the farewell, bringing another original cast member back to the Chicago production. Reel Chicago’s tribute to Hawkins recognizes his years with the series and his continuing work in his hometown of Harvey.
